| Abstract | The mouse cerebellum consists of 10 lobules, which are distinguishable by their anatomical and functional properties. However, the differences in the slow postsynaptic currents (sPSCs) of Purkinje cells between lobules have not been well studied. We recorded the sPSCs of lobules 3, 9 and 10 evoked by tetanic stimulation of the molecular layer in cerebellar slices, and found a novel outward sPSC mediated by the $GABA_{B}$ receptor in loblues 9 and 10 but hardly at all in lobule 3. We showed that the lobule-specific difference is at least partly attributable to differences in the density of GABAergic neurons (higher in lobule 10 than in lobules 3 and 9), and the functional expression level of postsynaptic $GABA_{B}$ receptor currents (larger in lobules 9 and 10 than in lobule 3). The G-protein-coupled inward rectifying $K^{+}$ channel (GIRK) is known to be activated by $GABA_{B}$ receptors; however, the outward sPSC was not blocked by a GIRK blocker, was not sensitive to $Cs^{+}$ block, and was observed when $Cs^{+}$ was used as a charge carrier. These results suggest that a $K^{+}$ channel other than GIRK could be activated by $GABA_{B}$ receptors. KCNK13 is a $Cs^{+}-permeable$ $K^{+}$ channel that shows intense expression of mRNA in Purkinje cells. KCNK13 current was enhanced by co-expression of $G_{βγ}$ subunits and was observed when $Cs^{+}$ was used as a charge carrier in heterologous expression systems, and the amino acids critical for these features were identified by mutagenesis. Taken together, these results show that KCNK13 is a legitimate candidate for the $Cs^{+}-permeable$ $K^{+}$ channel activated by $GABA_{B}$ receptors, presumably via $G_{βγ}$ subunits in Purkinje cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
